Description:

The awesome @RockyBeach hosts these fantastic See through Collage postcard swaps. And she has agreed to let me use her idea, in our group.

So, in this swap, we will create one Postcard for your one partner, that is see through. To make a See through Collage Postcard you will use tape or a thin piece of clear plastic as your base.

From RockyBeach:

@Rockybeach has made a little tutorial with pictures you can find here**

Basically construct a frame out of paper or cardboard, preferable recycled. Or cut the frame out of cardboard and cover it with paper. Add some collage elements. It helps when the collage elements are overlapping a bit. Or are connected to the frame. Make sure to add the address inside the taped area...this takes some planning.
Cover the card completely with tape, front and back or laminate it, or put tape on one side and thin plastic on the other...you get the idea; you want to be able to see through parts of the PC. This is probably the only swap I will ever say, cover up your art with tape!

Have fun trying this method on your postcard. ATC's are also fun using this style of creating but for this swap let's make a postcard. Your postcard may be any size or shape, just include enough postage for whatever you create.

Have fun!
